Lexington was not a fight between two armies, it was a group of neighbors, just farmers, trying to stop the confiscation of arms and ammunition by the best army in the world, the British. By the time the fire went out the British would have gladly never marched down that road. Some never learn by reading, they have to stick their hand into the fire.
